I learned to read from these books. I even saw a set online a couple of years ago and now wish I’d purchased them. I have some of the fabric, too, and am still trying to decide what to make with it. Can’t wait to see what you do.

I learned to read from those books, but they were the first editions! I remember the red cover of one and I think each one was a different color. Go see Spot. Go Jane Go, Jump Spot Jump! I sure wish I still had those books! And then they let us take them home to read to our parents, that was thrilling! My mother had 6 kids , just think how many times she had to listen to those books!

I, too, learned to read with Dick and Jane. The world at my finger tips was enthralling. When it dawned on my that people could communicate, tell stories, answer mysteries, share information through words, I was hooked. I made my mother read cereal boxes, soup cans, and milk cartons to me. It drove her crazy. At least, for the most part, the ingredients were easier to pronounce then. Looking forward to see what you do with the fabric.

How much fun is that?! Wow, I thought that I was the last to learn from Dick and Jane in 1969 — but you’re just a young stripling, they must have kept up the good work far longer. My husband remembers them very well, and that would have been ’59. This fabric — is it vintage or repro? I of course remember Spot, but not Puff. And I don’t remember Jane’s skirt being so scandalously short as in that one block. Well, it was the late ’60s.

The fabric is new…but out of print now…it is think from about 2 or 3 years ago, I saw it on eBay and had to have it…i dont know the whole story but I think the books go back to the 50’s….so when I learned to read in 1970-71 the books were pretty old already

Oh yes, the fabric was absolutely a must-have. I thought that the only reason we had those old books in my elementary school was because we were a poor district (true then and now), so they were on their last legs when you read them, as it were. But they are a great Baby Boomer bonding point (I think technically I’m the last year of the Boomer generation – or maybe it went to ’64).
